    Funny enough, an older Japanese bike was my first. But it stopped running after it sat outside too long during some housing issues. It’s been a few years and I’ve got the itch to ride again. No matter what I’ll be riding the hell out of it since it’ll be my primary mode of transportation.

    I had never actually looked at RE because of my aversion to supporting England but hot shit are their bikes cheaper than I expected. Hurray, even more choices to paralyze myself over

      Good news! The English part of RE went bunk in the 60s, the company is 100% Indian now. That’s the reason why they’re so cheap - RE makes about as many motorcycles as all of the European brands do combined, so they have a serious economy of scale advantage in addition to the advantage of being a hundred years old.
